There're wind ranges tables to riders with weight 75 Kg but there aren't tables to riders with 50 Kg. Well, never I didn't see it. I weigh 75 Kg and my wife 52 kg. She needs twos kites and I don't know that I should buy.

She weighs 52 kg and the ranges of the wind are 12 – 25 knots. I was thinking to buy a North Rebel kite 2012 – 8 m2 or a F-one kite 2012 - 8 m2 to use in winds between 12 and 20 knots; and North Rebel kite 2012 – 5 m2 or F-one 2012 - 5 m2 to use in winds between 20 knots and 30 knots.

I don't think an 8m would cut it in 12 knots, but a 10m would probably be good. A friend of mine is about that same weight and he rides a 10m as his main kite up to about 18 knots, and then drops down to a 6 or 7, I can't remember which. Both switchblades.

Don't believe anything what you hear because she needs to try it,what she likes The reason I'm saying because she might need a more expensive kite to be comfortable,with a higher range to handle the gust and when the Wind Picks Up with a Low Bar Pressure.But to help you generally you'll find that, with high aspect ratio good upwind kites.I would say a good 8 - 11m size would be OK if you your spot have the wind for her to start out. Don't Compromise and buy into some fancy new product what is not reviewed by none bios flyers Good luck finding the right one,

If experienced north rebel.or fone great kites,and sizes for your wind range,if not maybe better off with 10 meter and 8 like neo,stable and forgiving,i find low end grunt good for beginner,hope this helps,TONY

What are you opinion about it?

Can you help?

Thanks

Better half and i are same weight as you twoFor that wind range we use 3 RebelsIn 12-18kn i use the 12m2 and she uses the 10m2In 18kn-25kn i use the 10m2 and she uses the 8m2

If wind higher 25-30kn i like to be on the 8m2 and she has a 6m2If wind higher 30-35kn i like to be on the 6m2 and she has a 5m2

Rebels have lots of depower with short bar trow which is ideal for lighter riders with shorter armsI drop the depower cleat 3 inches to suit her arms length on 10-8-6-5 (i even use it like that for me)Each of our kites have own bar and lines always attachedIt does cost more but makes it easier for the both of us

For that wind range, and that weight, you will not need a very large kite. I would recommend the Best Kahoona 9 meter kite. It is powerful enough for beginners, but not too powerful. It relaunches amazingly, even in light wind, so it sounds like the perfect kite for your condition.

Just remember that a lightweight rider will be using any sized kite in lighter winds than the 'typical' 75kg rider.

My point is that you should consider a kite of light weight, as it will be used in lighter winds than what it was designed for. An 8m would be good if it were bomb proof for a typical rider, but she is going to want it to launch and fly in what most would consider 12m winds.

Just extend your own quiver down a size or two, and she can ride whatever you're not riding. At the point where the wind is nuking and you want to be on your smallest kite she can go make you a sandwich.
